Hidden Affordable Gem Stayed one night on my way to Agerola for a wedding. For a few hundred a night I had stunning balcony with 270 degree ocean view. Definitely get a balcony unit. Location was ideal for relaxed stay as it was situated in quiet Praiano halfway between popular (but overcrowded) Positano and Amalfi towns with bus stop right across the street. The beach (stone) and water access were about ten minutes walk down steep hill but very doable for any healthy person. You can rent umbrellas and chairs for swimming and sun bathing. Also, the walkway down was dotted with multiple good restaurants and bars with ocean views. There was also a convenience store 100M up main road where you can also get the bus passes and an ATM (but not a bank so be careful to decline dynamic conversion offer to avoid fees). I did not have a car but I think they offer parking. This was a lovely spot to relax and you can use the bus to explore but relying on the bus alone can be time consuming as it doesn’t stop if it’s full so a car will be desirable if you want on demand mobility. Taxis are extremely expensive ($90 Euro to Amalfi) and sometimes hard to book. You could just stay at the hotel area to relax for several days and pay for guided tours (Amalfi, Capri, Positano, Sorrento, etc) but bring a car if you want to be independently mobile. Note that parking in the towns will also be really expensive though.

Clean, friendly bar staff. Near some good landmarks.
